While it may not be as big as their first anniversary celebrations last year, with two active titles under their belt and an Oculus Rift project well under development…. CCP Games should not be short of things to showcase at this years annual EVE Fanfest. The video game developer / publisher have announced a small sample of the event line-up, set to take place over the three day event between the 1st and 3rd of May 2014.

Some of the events that will take place include:

  • The first live demo of EVE Online‘s summer expansion and more information about the long-term vision for game.
  • Reveals of what’s next for DUST 514 and a world-first hands-on opportunity with its next major evolution.
  • Exclusive hands-on with an entirely new build of the virtual reality dogfighting gameEVE: Valkyrie and details about what’s in store for the game recently announced as an Oculus Rift launch title.
  • A special dedication ceremony for the “Worlds Within a World” monument to EVE players. This unique event, taking place in picturesque Reykjavik Harbor where the monument will be installed, will feature the monument’s creator, Reykjavik city officials and players from around the world.
  • The “Make EVE Real” speaker track returns with visionary scientists outlining how the science fiction portrayed in the EVE Universe might not be that far off from reality. Among the speakers is Dr. Michael Meyer, who will speak about his work as the lead scientist for NASA’s Mars Exploration Program and how the Curiosity rover has changed the way mankind searches for extraterrestrial life.
  • Headlining the legendary convention finale, the “Party at the Top of the World,” are musical acts Z-Trip (US) and FM Belfast (Iceland). Z-Trip returns triumphantly from last year’s massive DJ set and FM Belfast is back again after their killer 2010 performance.
  • Further updates on CCP’s transmedia projects, such as the company’s collaboration with Dark Horse and its partnership with director Baltasar Kormákur on an EVEtelevision series.

Tickets to the event can be purchased via the dedicated site HERE. Be aware however that:

a) The event is being held in Reykjavik, Iceland

b) That person you become best friends with during the event could end up being that pirate who last year destroyed your billion ISK ship after a failed deal.
